It's a very rare example, so maybe I shouldn't cite such an extreme outlier in a discussion. But I did have 1 book that was over 700 ADE pages, come out to less than 300 pages after some manual code/formatting clean up.
Of course, talking about that as a percentage entirely depends on which direction you count.... (is it a 50% reduction, or 100% bloat?,,, I don't know, I dropped out of college.)
I still think that Jwolf's repeated assertion that ADE page numbers is somehow magically a better indication of book length, compared to other books, is complete bunk.
It does have the benefit of being consistent across devices. But in my mind, this is entirely subjective preference, and I haven't seen any kind of objective superiority for any of the methods. (Except for epub page map that is keyed to a specific edition/isbn. You should be able to use those page numbers for 'proper' citations.)
